Sheffield was probably never going to be a success given the restrictions of the site, but I think the wider point is that Peel were able to recognise that, and then effectively get the development land at a cost lower than might otherwise be expected. NorthboundA1 is demonstrating that they have a bit of a track record in this respect, and then accessing more public funding for the developments (there's nothing wrong with a commercial business exploiting every opportunity that they are able to recognise and take advantage of). However, the frustration with us local rate-payers to MME is that our councils and quangos seem to have failed to recognise Peel's modus-operandi, and therefore may be guilty of the same giveaway of an asset that we as ratepayers have invested in, and then coughing up more public funding for the development.
